Fly to Tokyo for $526 Round-Trip During Cherry Blossom Season

It's almost hanami time. And if you haven't already planned a trip to Japan to see the country's iconic cherry blossoms, you're in luck. Airlines like United, Delta, ANA, and American are all offering low non-stop, round-trip fares from all over the U.S. to Tokyo in March and April—prime bloom, or sakura, time. Travelers from the West Coast, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, can get fares as low as $526 round-trip. But the rest of the U.S. has ultra-low fares in the $600s, too, on routes to Tokyo that usually cost more than $800, including cities like New York City, Chicago, Denver, and Washington, D.C. What are you waiting for? Get booking. This flight deal likely won't last more than 24 hours.

While the deal extends long into April, you'll want to target the last few weeks of March if you want to overlap with the light pink flowers' bloom. We have a whole guide to making the most of Japan's cherry blossom season, including info on when the flowers are expected to reach their peak. This year, flowering is expected to start in Tokyo around March 22 and hit full bloom on March 29.

How to book: Use Google Flights (sample search from Los Angeles) to find the best dates and lowest prices. Be sure to click "one stop or fewer" before searching—almost all of the flights are non-stop but this will weed out any of the extra-long, multi-stop routes. Then, use the calendar feature, where the lowest fares are highlighted in green, to pick dates that work for you.
